Unreasonable faith is an attempt to sabatage the West for Eastern concerns! That is, Mystery! and for character development, via virtue, as we ALL know that the WEST is DESPOTIC!!! CAPITALISM, CONSUMERISM and CONSUMPTION is the enemy # 1 to both the materialistic scientist via environmental concerns, AND the discriminaton of the WEST against the Black religion of ISLAM! America must pay the world back by equalizing their privledged status and power!! I DON’t AGREE.

@google-25255b00c877b4c53b0fc4a3d7636acb:disqus I think too, and what I think is that some part of your comment didn’t register.

@b41fe0b50d5b7a16b13fddf9c4410599:disqus I think you are reading too much – or the wrong sorts of things – into the name of the blog “Unreasonable Faith.”

Unreasonable anything is, well, unreasonable. It is intrusive religious “feeling”, of dependence on “mystery” or “god”…Schiermacher comes to mind.

Such thinking is dependence, pure and simple and is not reasoned rationale of principles of conviction, which is personal. Such thinking isn’t taking responsiblity, but a paternalism that I don’t and can’t agree to/with. The principle of liberty, is the principle behind the law. Those that would like to maintain the State’s right to determine have already undermined liberty.

“It sparked off quite a lot of discussion in the comment section.”

Some “discussion.” I read some of the comments — the inevitable angry atheists posting in cliches.

Sorry, James. Disqus and I aren’t getting along these days.

Anyway, I think part of the problem I end up having whenever Liberal
Christianity comes up is that many people don’t know what the phrase
means. Reading through the comments, it seems that many atheists
consider anyone who is not a fundamentalist to be a Liberal.

I should probably get my hands on Gary Dorrien’s books and write a quick
description. Although I’m not sure how that would go over.

@d7f45ed2df049a7b0f21c07aab0c8c94:disqus I’m not sure what comments you’re reading, but the thread has descended into arguments with a self-styled prophet. I’m not sure you can call us “angry atheists” for that.

Don’t mistake the volume of comments for comments regarding your post. As vorjack pointed out, many of them are from/to a paranoid schizophrenic “prophetess” who used the topic of liberal christianity as a springboard for evangelism.

I don’t always read the links from a blog post I read, but when I do, I don’t like being told I haven’t.

@1ae22e35cf927e2270331e9ae3d8604d:disqus , I certainly apologize if I gave the impression that I was saying that no one had read it! I was referring specifically to the fact that some commenters seemed to think I had claimed that atheism itself, as opposed to many of its points about the Bible etc., derived from liberal Christianity. I simply intended to point out that in that particular area, the direction of influence was historically the reverse of what some assume.

I apologize again that you understood my remark to be directed at you personally, for whatever reason.
